Friday, uhm... silly

One choir concert down, one graduation party down.Today we've got one afterschool party at teacher's house to go, plus one community yard sale to prep for (no, I'm not at all interested in this one, but the kids want to get rid of some junk at Grandma's sale, so who am I to stop them?), a sleep-over, a carnival, and another graduation this weekend. The truck's going in the shop, I've got line edits and important forms due (probably overdue, but I did just get them back yesterday) on Waiting for Revenge, a looming copy edit deadline for a project I'm editing, I got orphaned and re-assigned to an awesome new editor, and I've adopted another author this week. Please don't ask if there's anything else - there probably is, and I honestly would rather pretend not.Sooo. Without further ado, a joke my son provided yesterday:What's an owl's favorite subject in school?Owlgebra.I know - sounds like a class at Hogwart's, huh?Off to middle school P.E. today. Happy Friday to all!AutumnGot romance?

The Piper Book Review Ratings System

Get Your Own Copy! A book you love so much, no way are you loaning it out. Worthy of high praise and frequent recommendations – but trust us, if you let someone borrow this one, they’ll “forget” to return it. Don’t miss the next title by this author.

Keeper. You won’t regret either time or money spent with this book. It has a permanent spot on your shelf. Recommend it freely and lend it carefully to that trustworthy “inner circle” of reader friends. Put the author on your To Be Read list.

Nice Bang for Your Entertainment Buck. Well worth your time and money, but probably not one you'll re-read. Pass it on to someone who’ll enjoy it and keep the author on your radar.

Borrow It. An okay read, but try to borrow it from a friend or library. This author will likely improve with experience, so remember him/her.

Don’t Bother. We won’t sink into varying degrees of badness – one size fits all in our “not worthy” category. Do remember, this is just one opinion, so take us with a grain of salt.
